The Rays have just six games left for the year, all on the road, the first three in Maryland against the Orioles. To finish the campaign with a winning record, Tampa Bay must win every remaining game. Losing one would make them an even 81-81 for the year and losing two assures the team of finishing with a losing record.

First pitch in game 157 of the 2025 Tampa Bay baseball season is scheduled for 6:35 PM EDT at Oriole Park in Baltimore, on September 23rd.
